Chapter 414 The Mysterious Woman in the Dark Room

"Isn't it too late to say this now?" Concubine Rou showed a sarcastic smile on her face and looked at the old emperor with cold eyes.

There was a hint of disdain and anger in her tone, as if she was extremely disappointed with the old emperor's behavior.

When the old emperor heard this, he was shocked and sighed deeply.

He realized that the mistake made by Concubine Rou and her son was irreversible, but he still wanted to avoid any regrets before he died.

So he turned around, stared at King Kang sternly, and shouted angrily: "You evil creature, do you know you are wrong?"

King Kang was not afraid at all. He sneered, with a stubborn light flashing in his eyes.

He straightened his body and answered without flinching, "Oh! Father, I don't think I'm wrong. I'm not the only son you have. If I don't do something, how can I take your position?"

His voice was firm and powerful, and he no longer wanted to hide his desire for the throne.

When the old emperor heard this, he could hardly believe it. He also ascended the throne step by step from a prince of a lower class, and he also experienced the struggle for the throne among the previous emperor's sons. But he had never seen anyone so blatantly express his ambition to become emperor in public.

"As a prince, you can't possibly not know what the consequences of killing the king and seizing the throne will be?"

"Yes, I know, but I have no choice!" King Kang looked at the old emperor with complicated eyes, and said slowly: "Father, if I don't fight for it, can you guarantee that my other brothers will spare us after they take the throne?"

Prince Kang's words instantly silenced the old emperor, and also silenced everyone in the hall.

Because his words touched everyone's heart.

Since ancient times, royal struggles have been cruel and ruthless. Once someone ascends the throne, it is difficult for others to survive.

What's more, these people have participated in coups before. Although they failed in the end, if the new emperor takes the throne and holds them accountable, they will definitely be killed.

Therefore, now that King Kang is proposing to fight for the throne, he is actually also trying to find a way out for himself and others.

But just when everyone was silent, Leng Mei rushed in hurriedly, whispered in Feng Wuhen's ear, and Leng Mei's voice became smaller and smaller.

"Your Majesty, I have gone to Prince You's Mansion..."

"Withdraw the people first and send someone to keep an eye on them."

After receiving the order, Leng Mei turned around and walked out again.

A group of people full of questions were left in the hall, but they did not dare to ask the Evil King. After all, they did not want to bring bad luck upon themselves.

If they were to displease the evil king, the consequences would be something they could not afford.

Finally, the old emperor couldn't resist his curiosity and spoke first: "Seventh Brother, what happened? Is there something important that needs to be dealt with? If so, go ahead and do your work. I'm here!"

The evil king looked at the old emperor and said calmly, "Father, it's okay. It's just a few small matters. I have already taken care of them."

He was in a bad mood at the moment, because he failed to force King You to reveal his true colors this time, so he was very upset.

However, he also saw how cunning his Sixth Uncle was. If he wanted to catch him, it seemed that he would need more time and patience.

However, when Concubine Rou heard about King You, the expression on her face suddenly became complicated.

The man agreed to cooperate with the mother and daughter to help her son succeed in seizing the throne. However, at the most critical moment, he backed down and watched the mother and daughter fail and become prisoners.

At this time, Concubine Rou hated King You very much. In order to please King You and make him wholeheartedly help her son to ascend the throne, she sold her body and became his underground wife for many years. But now he is watching them die without helping, and just sitting on the mountain watching the fight between tigers. What does this mean?

"Hey, Madam Roufei, what's wrong with you? Why do you look so unhappy?"

Jiang Yimo, who was standing by, saw Concubine Rou's expression changing constantly and asked her deliberately.

Concubine Rou came back to her senses, a trace of resentment flashed in her eyes, but she quickly regained her composure: "It's okay, I just remembered some past events."

Hearing this, Jiang Yimo raised her eyebrows and said nothing more.

Immediately, the old emperor ordered Concubine Rou and Prince Kang to be imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison. Three days later, they were executed and each was given a cup of poisoned wine.

Then, the old emperor was about to ask everyone in the hall to leave, as he wanted to be alone for a while.

At this time, Shadow came over.

"Your Majesty, Prince, I discovered a secret when I was searching Concubine Rou's Chonghua Palace."

When these words were spoken, everyone frowned.

The evil king asked, "What secret?"

Shadow glanced at the people in the hall, hesitated, then leaned close to the Evil King and whispered in his ear.

Then, the evil king's expression became more and more serious.

After Shadow finished speaking, the Evil King looked at the old emperor and said seriously, "Father, please go to Chonghua Palace with me."

When the old emperor saw that the evil king's face was so serious, he knew without a doubt that something big was going to happen, so he nodded slightly.

Afterwards, the old emperor quickly asked someone to change his clothes into a light set of clothes, and then was carefully helped by Jiang Yimo and a young eunuch to get on the sedan chair.

The bearers lifted the sedan chair steadily and sent the old emperor to Chonghua Palace.

After arriving at Chonghua Palace, the group was led by Shadow into the underground secret passage of Concubine Rou's bedroom.

After the Evil King, Jiang Yimo and the old emperor entered the underground secret passage, they discovered that Concubine Rou's underground secret passage actually held a different world.

There are several compartments in the basement, each with different uses and secrets.

When they walked to a cubicle basement, they suddenly heard a faint sound.

When they got closer, they found a woman imprisoned inside, locked up with a large iron chain.

The woman looked extremely disheveled. Her hair was a mess and her face was covered in black dirt, making it difficult to see her features clearly.

Her clothes were so dirty that their original color could no longer be seen, and they gave off an unpleasant stench.

Everyone couldn't help but frown, curious about the identity of this woman.

The Evil King had a solemn expression on his face, and was wondering in his heart about the identity of this woman.

At the same time, as soon as the woman saw the old emperor, she immediately became extremely excited and her body trembled slightly.

"eee..."

The sound she made was full of urgency and desire, as if she was trying to express something.

There was a deep sense of familiarity in her eyes, as if she had some special connection with the old emperor.

However, the old emperor stared at her for a long time but still could not remember who she was.

"Father, she seems to know you!" The prince at the side couldn't help but speak.

The old emperor frowned, his heart also filled with doubts: "Why don't I remember her at all?"

He racked his brains, trying to dig out information about the woman from the depths of his memory, but in the end he found nothing.
